Final Project Proposal: Political Cartoons The topic that I chose for my final project is political cartoons created during the time period of 1939 through 1945, and mostly focusing on the major event that occur during this time frame which is World War II. The main focus of my project will be on how the political cartoons created during 1939 through 1945 have contributed to our nation building as well as how educators use these political cartoons to help teach students about the events of World…

Annie Addison 10/7/14 Block 1&2 Superpowers Are Meant To Be Used Imagine if you were in a dark alleyway and a man in all black came up to you, and for no reason, started attacking you. You beg this man to stop, ask why he is doing this, but you get no reply. You try to fight back, but the man only hits you harder. There is no one there to help because everyone is afraid of this man, and when he began to walk down the street, everyone else cleared away, not wanting to mess with or disturb…

Could the World be filled with “Superhumans”? Upon hearing the word “superhuman” my mind immediately conjures up a being with inhuman like qualities and superpowers- typically, I imagine the comic book mutants from X-Men. With modern technology and advancements in genetics, the idea of a superhuman is becoming more and more plausible, although do not expect to see Magneto causing chaos in the street anytime soon. A superhuman can be defined as a human with heightened intelligence and physical…

The movie is about a giant robot that came from space and crashed into the Earth, then a boy found it and kept it safe from the government. Hogarth Hughes is showing the robot how to have fun and do a cannonball. The natural bright light and the jump cuts makes it active. The rule of thirds is showing the three characters…

The new Batman v Superman movie is one that has many fans skeptical. The replacing of Christian Bale with Ben Affleck is a move that could doom this movie from the start. It is not fair to judge a role before the movie is actually seen, but Affleck just does not seem like the king of guy who could pull of playing Batman. LEGO BATMAN IS MORE ENTERTAINING THAN THE NEW TRAILER I have watched many movies where the trailer was amazing, but the movie sucked. A lot of the times when this happens, the…

My choice as a gendered toy for both girl and boy was Marvel action figures. For the boy, I chose to write about the Marvel Spider-Man and in particular Marvel’s Lasher. The packaging black and white with the name “Marvels Lasher” displayed a crossed a red banner with white lettering. These colors, representing power and blood work to further the male mindset of superiority. Lasher, utterly inhuman in appearance, made of green sludge with white eyes and possessing superhuman abilities that help…

April 2016 Both the film Star Wars: A New Hope Directed by George Lucas and comic, The Watchmen by Alan Moore had one thing in common. In the comic novel and film, the “superhero" protagonists are white heterosexual men. Neither Princess Leia nor Laurie Juspeczyk have plot lines of their own instead they revolve around men. In The Watchmen and Star Wars: A New Hope both author and director are male and give their characters a male protagonist role. In The Watchmen, Alan Moore introduces his…

way, very strange, goes by Hammerhead) just high-fived the universe for this bodacious gift from DC and IDW comics. The winged guardian of Gotham teams with those saviors from the sewers...Batman and the Turtles in an epic 6 part miniseries from writer James Tynion IV (Constantine, The Eighth Seal) and artist Freddie E. Williams II (The Flash). Ok, ok, ok...down to business. Is this comic worth it's ink and paper? Happy to say yes. It's always difficult with these magnets of nostalgia…
